What do you put on your pancakes?

I have a love/hate relationship with pancakes. Love them, but I often find them too bland on their own (and I've tried probably 8 different recipes in the last months), so I have to add syrup... and that often makes me go over at the end of the day, as it's pretty much empty calories.
So... is there any other option out there that would add some favor but not a bazillion 'empty' calories?

Walden Farms syrup is calorie free, and it's actually good. A little more watery than 'regular' syrup but not a big deal.
Cary's sugar free syrup is another option - I think it's 30 calories for .25 cup.
But I enjoy white chocolate and sprinkles on my pancakes. I eat them as a dessert.0 -

banana, peanut butter, honey0

Can you add more vanilla extract to the batter? Or fruit? Fruit juice? Mmmm some pineapple juice sounds DELICIOUS!0

Maple syrup and a lot of butter. Or strawberries and whipped cream with butter.0

I don't put anything ON my pancakes. I add spices to the mix. Pumpkin pie spice or (my fave) ground cardamom.0

Usually I add vanilla extract and fruit, but still. Not the same without some syrup, lol.
I've done whipped cream too, but by the time I was done, it was almost as many calories as the syrup (although more nutritious at least).0 -

Never, ever use sf maple syrup. Use the real stuff. It's worth it.0 -

I have so many different combos;
PB2 (a peanut butter with 80% less fat and sometimes it tastes better than peanut butter.)
^ With Syrup or berries
Peanut butter
^ with Syrup or berries
Squished up strawberries
Cream Cheese w/ sugar twin
Peanut butter w/ unsweetened cocoa powder & Sugar twin
^either alone or with berries
My grandpa mashes up bananas and cinnamon to taste
So many options. Now I'm hungry for pancakes.
EDIT: Also it tastes delicious when you add a splash of vanilla and a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter mix. Don't even need anything ON your pancakes when you do that.0 -

I have pancakes probably 28 mornings a month (occasionally I want biscuits). Either plain, buttermilk, blueberry, or my own pumpkin recipe. Syrup is always on top, with a side of bacon or sausage. Sometimes there's milk, yogurt, or a protein shake.
If I had a waffle iron, I'd make waffles every other morning.0
